The first and the easiest way to remove ads from uTorrent is to install AdLock. You don’t need to do anything else then, you just open an ad blocker, and it starts doing its job. AdLock is set up by default to stop any kinds of adware and block third-party tracking though if you want you can adjust its settings to meet your needs. For example, you like a certain website which is sponsored by advertisers, and you don’t want to deprive it of such an opportunity you can add it to the list of exceptions. Open an AdLocker tab in the app, click on Add domain name and type a URL in this format: www.example.com. Since then AdLock will disable ads on all websites except that one.

You can set up a whitelist of applications, too. Go to AdLocker tab choose Applications exclusions and click on Add the application. A pop-up window with your folders will show up choose there and app you want to whitelist.
